Abstract—The present scenario, where water and power are endangered, it is most unwise to be lavish in these resources. Whilst Irrigation is also a vital part in Indian economy, we must ensure to meet both ends. Manual labor in the irrigation fields is tiresome and not to mention the inequality in the distribution of water to the plants. Inevitably an automated system for irrigation is a wiser and a frugal solution. We propose system working on Fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic in short is the opposite of Boolean logic. The former can take a wide range of values between the two absolute values ‘0’ and ‘1’. Parameter refers to the water level in a field sector. The parameters are arranged in sets namely Fuzzy sets in which the parameters are arranged in highest priority manner. It can be implemented using a Microcontroller and making efficient use of the parameters. This system is more optimal than conventional systems that seed water at periodic intervals. With this we get a lucid view regarding water content required by plants on a relative scale. We can drastically minimize water consumption by regulating the watering quantity and duration and also avoiding the need for manual labor.
